ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick used for? What exactly is the GD Library? What is the reason for their global popularity?
If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server where you host it should have the suitable software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a site visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which can be set up on a web server and that work with a lot of popular scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you can use images with any web-based application that you'd like, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with over 100 different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
